[QUOTE="Howard Van Horn, post: 2535892, member: 114718"] Two things to note: 1. Military Brass is thicker and will hold less propellent 2. Load to the velocity (pressure) of military ammo used in an AR, this is usually will be at a lesser velocity. I also loaded for a Winchester 88 in 308 at one time, the Win 88 is a stronger action (approaching that of a bolt action) than that of an AR. No way would I use my old Win 88 load in an AR, it would (in time) harm the rifle. Also, stick to the 150/168 bullet weight for your AR. [/QUOTE]
